Cupcakes and Peas !!

Well can you believe Christmas Day has passed again - I certainly hope 2012 goes a little slower.

Here are my final two Christmas cards for 2011.....they were 'quick cards' but I was very happy with them....and just look at the scrumptious pink ribbon - I bought this from Dies to Die for and really should've bought more  :D

What are you going to do with all that felt lol???

This really is a quick post I just wanted to show my latest creation......Kerry asked the question so I felt I needed to explain.......

I have only just made this one tonight and photography isn't great - but the story goes 'I made myself a felt Poppy for Remembrance Day this year - and it spiralled out of control from there - people were stopping me in the street to ask where I'd bought it !!! Since then friends have bought the flowers - as didn't think Poppies were appropriate after - so I die cut a Tim Holz flower die and have since sold in excess of 150 !!!!! '

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your lovely comments....

SU Mini Pack........

Just a short blog today - my MIL has now been taken into Wisdom Hospice to monitor her and to try and get her medication right - she has been so poorly this week it's just not fair.....

My SU demonstrator sent me a mini pack with my last order and this is what I came up with......

...... I am making a picture book for my MIL as she is very low and wanted to remind her of all the good times we've had over the years - and found this little one of Lewis and Eleanor (who are now 12 and 10) and so wanted to rewind time :D

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comments - I love receiving them all :)

Much love
